Consider what is best for athletes’ or participants’ longevity by allowing them to play other sports or on different teams that might fit them better, instead of trying to keep them in a certain sport or on a specific team just because they are achieving.

Promote quality over quantity by consid- ering the quality of participants’ experi- ences instead of providing funds solely based on the number of participants.

Gymnastics is a great way for young children to learn and develop agility, balance, and coordination; athletics (track and field) develops speed and coordination.

Adult training and competition pro- grams are superimposed on developing athletes.
Training methods and competition pro- grams designed for male athletes are superimposed on female athletes.
Preparation is geared toward the short- term outcome (winning) and not toward the process of long-term development.
Chronological rather than developmen- tal age is used in training and competi- tion planning.

Encourage children to run—not just in a straight line, but with stops and starts and changes in direction. Tag and chasing games are excellent.

Play catching games. Use a wide range of soft objects and balls of various sizes. Start with having the children catch a large ball with two hands, and progress toward smaller balls, eventually using only one hand. Remember that balls that don’t bounce too much are great for learning, as are beanbags.

Play games making body shapes (upside down and right-side up). Have the children pre- tend to slither like snakes and roll like rolling pins on the floor or down a small grassy slope.

Play throwing games, starting with soft objects that the children can hold easily. Try to get them to throw at a target, sometimes as hard as possible. Have them use both their left and right hands when throwing.

For quiet times, or when in small spaces, play balancing games. Have the children stand on one foot and then the other, try balancing on different body parts, and try walking along any painted lines on the ground.

Play jumping games. Have the children jump and make shapes in the air, or jump to see how high or far they can go. Make imaginary rivers and get them to jump from one bank to the other. Have them try jumping from one foot or both, and make sure they bend at the knees when they land.
